Hmm... the problem appears to have resolved itself. After a few hours
the new drive seems to have gone back into the array, and the original
hot spare drive put back into hot-spare state.
So I'm interpreting state 0x0020 to therefore mean something like "hang
on while I use this new drive to automatically put everything back as it
was before the failure". Is this correct?
Thanks,
Charles

Hello,
We have a mfi-based RAID array with a failed drive. When replacing
the failed drive with a brand new one 'mfiutil' reports it having
status of "PSTATE 0x0020". Attempts to work with the drive to make it
a hot spare are unsuccessful (eg. using "good" and/or "add"
subcommands of mfiutil). We've tested procedures for replacing
failed drives in the past and haven't run into this.
Looking at the code for mfiutil it appears that this is happening
because the mfi controller is reporting a drive status code that
mfiutil doesn't know about. The system is remote and in production,
so booting into the LSI in-BIOS RAID-management-tool is not an
attractive option.
Any help with understanding the situation and potential next steps
would be greatly appreciated. More background information follows below.
Thanks,
Charles
